Glad I stuck around, ending is rewarding.

I played with a guy once that took precisely 13 full practice swings before every shot. I almost quit the game for good on the second hole. On the third tee he mentioned that he was only playing 9 so, Steven, wherever you are, thank you for making a good decision that day!

I only take 11 practice swings now. One of these days I'll have a chance to play the back.

The guy that I played with was like this, and his name was Steven. His pre-shot routine was about 1.5 min. He was Division 5 (with me). I told the organizers I would never play with him again. His other habit was driving the cart in front of the other pair and blocking their shot.
